Police in North Carolina are looking for the teenager, who on Saturday, August 4, demanded money from the 9-year-old boy who sold lemonade by sending an innocent child to the barrel of the gun.
The robbery happened near a roundabout in the city of Monroe (about 30 miles Southeast of Charlotte) in front of the Church. John.
«I often see a young man sells organic lemonade,» said local resident Robert Pendleton.

According to the boy, the robber is a teenager in a camouflage hat and black shirt came up to his lemonade stand, put a gun to the baby’s stomach and demanded money. After receiving his «prey», he ran away.
«In today’s world people are very bold, – said the representative of Union County Tony underwood. Criminals are very bold. This is a new level of low.» According to underwood, a thief stole less than $20.
Though the amount is small, but the police were going to catch the culprit. Detectives found evidence that may lead them to rogue. They found a camouflage hat and a black air pistol in a nearby forest. Police reported that the suspect left the bike in the bushes to escape.
Perhaps the police will be able to track him down using CCTV. Besides, they’d probably do DNA tests and get fingerprinted.
As found Channel 9, the boy started his own mini business to raise money for a lawn mower. On hearing this, the head of the company Lowe’s, which sells goods for the home, promised to realize his desire.
